Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Terribly

The adverb form of the word, 'terrible' is 'terribly'. It means the same as 'extremely'. Hence, option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect as the word, 'terrible' is an adjective and not an adverb. It is used to describe a noun which is extremely bad or serious. Eg: 'A terrible mistake'.

Option C is incorrect as 'make terrible' is not an adverb. It includes two words -'make', which is a verb, and 'terrible' which is an adjective.

Option D is incorrect as option B is the correct answer.
